CDkeys - are they legit?

[UltimateNobody]

Hi guys !!

I came across this site named CDkeys, they sell games for insanely cheap prices. I want to know, is this a "legit" site? In other words, like Humble Bundle. The keys you buy, is it Steam keys or not?

If it is anything like G2A, I'm not interested at all.

TIA

It's not illegal but it's a 3rd party site and you shouldn't deal with them.

You can check it here. But to be frank, i haven't seen a legit store that names itself CD Keys or claims to sell CD Keys, as a legit business knows they are selling licenses.

But wouldn't that make Humble Bundle a 3rd party site as well?

Because it's an unauthorized reseller known for selling stolen goods and scamming their customers with a protection racket.
Circumventing the forum word filter is a bad idea. Remove that.

Because its a shady reseller that is known to sell stolen keys. Its censored on Steam for a reason.
Dont circumvent the censorship-

They are legit. They buy keys bulk in countries where they are cheaper and sell them back to you. As far as I know they don't use credit-card fraud like those censored sites

Yes, HumbleBundle is a third party reseller, but they at least are authorized and a legit business.

dont bypass the filters. If its blocked, it means DO NOT POST IT

They have a bad history of selling stolen keys, keys bought with stolen credit cards, etc.

Removed :D I know they are a bunch of thieves though that is why I posted this post to find out if CDkeys is the same - I'm guessing so that they are then?

[Cathulhu]

Not necessarily. That they are not on the filter list, does not mean they are a legit business.
Have you entered their shop URL on the Keyradar site like i suggested?

That is what I meant, I just didn't express that properly, I mean that I'm guessing they are the same as the other censored site?

for the record, not editing it out in your quote is just as bad.

OP, just deal with authorized 3rd-party retailers, use is there any deal to see when the best deals pop up on the authorized retailers.

I have, and it said basically it's not legit, but I also entered Humble Bundle and it said the same, so I was confused.

[Cathulhu]

Ah, enter it without http://www
Just humblebundle.com and however that store URL is.
It seems their form is a bit stupid by design.

They are. I use them all the time
